It’s Friday again which means it’s time for another Bookish Scene: This week’s theme is „Into the Night“ and I would have loved to actually go outside and take a bookish picture in the night but a) it’s fucking cold outside these days, b) my street looks rather boring at night and c) I don’t have a good enough camera to take satisfying pictures in the dark – so you have to live with just a dark photo and a book that fits the „night“ theme 😛

I picked Marisha Pessl’s „Night Film“ for my photo because being the only physical book I own that has „night“ in the title it was quite an obvious choice but I also think the story of this novel fits this week’s theme quite well because it was so surreal sometimes that it felt like a dark and disturbing dream. I’ve read this book together with Crini, Maraia and Sana in October as a Halloween read and even though it wasn’t really a scary horror story I really enjoyed reading it – but I was probably the only one of our buddy reading group who did 😀 You can find my full review of „Night Film“ here.

LOL, I thought Sana and Crini liked it, too. I like the picture, at least. 😛 If someone took all of the mystery/nighttime/horror film elements from the book and wrote a different plot, I think it could work really well!

Well, I’m tempted to say that it’s time to use your book-pushing skills again to make this book more popular (though I actually think quite a lot of people have read it) but since you didn’t like it that much I’m not sure if you would be very convincing 😛

Also I saw that the movie rights have already been picked up in 2013 but it doesn’t look like this project has made a lot of progress since, so I don’t know if this is still going to happen…
